I considered taking it back, but then something went crunch inside the 1 key when I pressed it, and everything works now. My device had a very spongy 1 key, which simply didn’t register half the time I pressed it. It looks nice, and the tablet itself feels sturdy and decent. The build quality of the device is great, kind of. You’ll want to know if it’s any good now, won’t you? The hardware So, when the Lenovo Chromebook Duet was on its third special offer in two months, and having looked at the device twice in the store beforehand, I bit the bullet and bought one, for AUD$479 (US$335, £265). But the lack of a proper browser with an ability to view-source, or see the Javascript console, or run plugins, etc, frustrated me, and the Apple-ecosystem lockdown is annoying.
The iPad has certainly improved since 2014 or so, when I bought my last one. I tried an iPad, a purchase partly out of necessity (I needed a backup machine to record a podcast onto) and partly out of curiosity. I’d like something that I can use as a tablet rather more than a little laptop these days. It’s brilliant, but as a tablet it’s really heavy and a little too large. I have a Samsung Chromebook Plus, a beautiful piece of hardware with a lovely screen, a pen, and it folds back to be a tablet. I knew what I was hopefully letting myself in for. (This is an updated review from April 2021. And if you don’t know all that, there are plenty of pages that are product descriptions disguised as reviews for you.) I’m assuming you already know all of that but are more interested in how it actually works.
Our unit doesn't include a stylus pen, but you can get a 64GB model that does, and the 128GB model includes one by default.(First off: this isn’t one of those reviews which lethargically go through the features of a product. Our unit has 64GB of storage, which should be enough for most people, but if you want a bit more headroom or want to install games from the Google Play Store, you might want to opt for 128GB. They all have the same CPU, GPU, and memory configuration the only differences are the storage sizes and whether or not a stylus pen is included. There are three models of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet. Also, it has a sub-par webcam and only a single USB-C port. Unfortunately, the keyboard is tiring to type on, the touchpad is tiny, and the speakers sound bad. Also, you can't install x86 applications due to Chrome OS' limitations, which means you're limited to using web apps through the Chrome browser or Android and Linux apps. It has an ARM-based mobile SoC (System-on-Chip) that can handle simple tasks, but it's nowhere near powerful enough for demanding workloads. Its compact size is great for portability as it can easily fit into most bags, and its battery lasts nearly twelve hours of light productivity on a full charge.
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet (2020) is a budget 2-in-1 laptop that runs on Chrome OS.
